Jiang Tian looked at him quietly, the sorrow in her eyes impossible to ignore.
Jiang Xianyu was somewhat confused. In his view, Jiang Tian had already overcome her past difficulties.
If Jiang Tian chooses him, he will definitely not treat her badly. Even if the time they spend together is limited, Jiang Tian will still get something she wants during that time.
But Jiang Tian didn't choose him; instead, she chose Su Yuyao.
What kind of person is Su Yuyao? He has many girlfriends, but none of them can stay with him for long. Many of them are even targeted by his accomplices for revenge.
In Su Yuyao's eyes, apart from power and status, there was nothing in this world worth cherishing.
His relationships with commoners were merely a way to compete with the rest of his family; he never truly loved any of his girlfriends.
Jiang Xianyu and he had been good brothers for many years, so he was well aware of his cold-heartedness.
How could Jiang Tian possibly have a good outcome with someone like that?
Jiang Xianyu never expected that Jiang Tian would choose Su Yuyao over him.
A strange feeling welled up inside him.
His feelings for Jiang Tian have always been complicated.
This woman gave him a strange feeling; he wanted to get closer to her and longed to get a love experience from her that he couldn't get from others.
But none of that is the most important thing. What is important is—his worry about Jiang Tian.
If things continue like this, her future will surely be tragic.
Su Yuyao's way of handling things foreshadowed Jiang Tian's life trajectory.
Jiang Xianyu couldn't stand by and watch.
But Jiang Tian gave up on him and chose Su Yuyao, and he really couldn't bring himself to remind her in a gentle tone.
Hearing Jiang Xianyu's reminder, Su Yuyao smiled mockingly.
He thought to himself, if he's not a good person, then is Jiang Xianyu one? We're all the same.
Both of them looked at Jiang Tian, waiting for her response.
Jiang Tian looked extremely weak, after all, she was still sick, but Jiang Xianyu had dragged her out and made her answer these questions—she was exhausted.
But now that she was here, she couldn't back down.
She had to answer every question Jiang Xianyu asked; it was a superior's scrutiny of the subordinate, and she had no choice.
“Young Master Jiang, I am very grateful for your help before. You made me realize the gap between me and you. Even if your tone was not good, I know that you meant well. You were worried that I would get too caught up in it and be unable to extricate myself, and that my spirit would be destroyed.”
“If everything goes as you fear, then my choice at this moment will indeed bring fatal damage to my life. But please rest assured, although I am an ordinary person, I have nothing to lose except my own soul, which I cherish very much. Dating Young Master Su is not about selling my soul, but about coming to know myself.”
"Just like you said, Young Master Su won't settle down with any girl. Dating is just part of his daily life; he can change partners, but his habits won't change."
"It is truly pitiful when a person cannot recognize their own position."
“You should trust me. I know exactly where I stand in society and how I should make a living. My relationship with Young Master Su may end, but at that time… I will not fall into depravity.”
Jiang Xianyu couldn't help but sneer: "Do you know what it means to get away unscathed? It means you have no feelings for Su Yuyao whatsoever. With all the material and emotional support, and the ultimate pleasures of high society, how could you not be grateful to him?"
“Once gratitude sets in, the next step is greed. You’ll start thinking, why can’t he support you forever? You might even resort to any means necessary to bind him to your relationship. Even if you don’t get married, being his mistress is fine—just to keep your current lifestyle. And if you’re even more radical… I don’t need to say more, do I?”
Jiang Xianyu's implication was that he was using the child as a bargaining chip.
Many women fantasize about how precious their children will be, but they never consider how simple it is for these top heirs to want a child.
The fact that they don't want it only means that they haven't found a suitable mother for the child yet.
It's obvious that Jiang Tian is not up to the task.
The Su family will never accept children from commoners or those from the Su family.
Jiang Xianyu analyzed the psychological challenges Jiang Tian might face next in an absolutely rational and objective tone.
It wasn't that he lacked confidence in Jiang Tian, but rather in this era.
In this era, once someone is favored by those in power, how could they possibly not sell their soul? And how many ordinary people truly believe that their souls are so precious?
Su Yuyao silently watched Jiang Tian. He was unsure of his own feelings at that moment, and he wasn't sure if Jiang Tian's situation would develop as Jiang Xianyu had suggested. He wondered if he would still have any feelings for her then.
He has seen too many ordinary people lose their way in temptations. Can Jiang Tian really be an exception?
No one can answer that.
He can only calmly examine the situation; time will tell.
Time passed second by second.
Jiang Tian looked at Jiang Xianyu and slowly spoke, giving her response: "Young Master Jiang, Young Master Su, I know you don't have confidence in me. You think that as an ordinary person who has never enjoyed a privileged life or been respected, once I enter a circle that doesn't belong to me, I will wish that everything could stay in the moment I most desire. I understand that you are inferring the problems I will face based on countless examples in reality."
“But you don’t know that I’d rather live a muddled life than enjoy it. I can’t predict what the future holds, but what you imagine will never happen.”
"What makes you so confident in yourself? Do you really think you can resist temptation?"
Jiang Xianyu and Su Yuyao seemed to become one person at this moment. They were both afraid that Jiang Tian would be alienated by her surroundings and become an extremely boring person.
If she becomes that kind of person, will she still be herself?
But they themselves didn't realize that their distrust of Jiang Tian revealed a kind of arrogance.
They never truly understood Jiang Tian, let alone explored her inner world.
They clearly all had different feelings for Jiang Tian, but these feelings still contained a certain emotion.
If they truly love her, they should respect her soul.
If they truly love her, even if Jiang Tian is corrupted by high society and becomes a degenerate person, they will not change their feelings.
It can only be said that all liking comes with conditions. Some conditions seem easy to achieve, while others may be a spiritual height that a person may never reach in their entire life.
In Jiang Xianyu and Su Yuyao's hearts, Jiang Tian's spirit at this moment was admirable, so they were willing to give Jiang Tian a little bit of their sincerity.
However, they still believe that Jiang Tian's sincerity at this moment is only because she has not yet faced real temptation. If she were to face temptation, whether she would change is unknown.
